The air mattress I had died, well, the motor did. I went and bought a
twin innerspring which was all I could afford. It was last Saturday and a
holiday weekend meaning very few places were open and my selection was very
small. I got a couple foam toppers, total waste. They don't do anything at all.
I have a small flat pyramid of blankets and pillows placed strategically on the
mattress. After a few minutes I feel as if I'm on cement. It is way too hard to
lay on either hip. My spine is very misaligned and it just gets worse as time
goes on. I had a dream I was being run over on a highway and woke up to find my
pulse was making my low back and left hip hurt in short sharp spikes of pain.
I've been back to using marijuana and tylenol pm's with my hydrocodone to get
to sleep but it rarely lasts 2 hours. Doctors have written prescriptions. A
wound care doctor and my regular doctor but medicare and medicaid are not
responding to the DME or the doctors. I keep
rearranging pillows because I'm anything but straight and this thing is flat.
Medicare has bought me a mattress once in 32 years and they have never paid for
a bed. I spent about 1.5 hours on hold with a lady that refused to give me her
name earlier today and I was being really nice to her. Needless to say, the
hold finally went off and I was disconnected. My brother in law got an old
waffle type alternating pressure pad working but it died last night and I don't
think it's fixable. It wasn't helping anyway. If anyone has any ideas, I would
try anything.
Thank you for your interest. Everyone that sees it can't believe it.
Thanks for caring,
john

It is no wonder this list is so quiet,, everyone has gotten sick! It isn't
easy to write on here when you get depressed with UTI's, migrating syrinxi (ok,
What is the plural?) and the anti biotic treatments?
I'm going for some pity here, I've been sleeping on a mattress that is about
the most pain full damn thing. I haven't slept more than 2 hours in a month
now. (If I seem mean I appologize to the point where, Im so tired.)
God Bless ya'll, Hope you feel better.

Sure hope things get better for you Greg, Yes our Quad body's can be hard to
figure out at times, especially with AD and not always knowing the Cause. I
suffer a lot from a syrinx that has been causing me increased pain and problems
with my entire left shoulder and arm., I'm hoping it don't continue to get
worse. Hang in there........ Dan H. c-6 10.5 years post

for 4 days a month ago, just very sick, shaky, etc. Of course its a UTI.
Never really felt good since then.
But then a month later, I was into the ER again. This time admitted for 3
days. Still not sure exactly what the cause was. While just ending my
B-Program, I got a very bad headache, not fun
BPresure was 170/1??. Obviously
AD, but never had it that bad before.
Many tests, but no clear cause. This time I went to the big city hospital (
Phoenix , St Joseph s rather than the local one) much better care for sure.
Not been a good month,
Greg
